The Paul D. Lindstrom Library

Welcome to our library, named after our founder and pastor, the late Dr. Paul Lindstrom. Pastor Paul, as he was fondly called by all who knew and loved him, was an avid reader and collector of books so it is appropriate that our library is named after him. Our library was beautifully renovated in 2006 and we invite you to visit and use our wonderful facility.

Gifts and Donations Policy

The Lindstrom Library gladly accepts donated books and library materials, with the understanding that the library may sell materials that cannot be used in the collection at the used book sale in the spring. We cannot promise we will add donated books to our collection. All books will be evaluated by library staff and/or by a committee of teachers to determine if the materials are desired to enhance the library collection and the goals of the Christian Liberty Academy. An itemized receipt is available upon request for tax purposes. The donor may request that a bookplate with the donor’s name be added to the book. We are not permitted to add a value to your donated materials.
